British Dogging It: UK Gay Sex OK in Public

It was only a matter of time before tolerance turned to privilege among the politically acceptable victim groups. So the following story in The daily Mail hardly surprises us:

Mother and teenage daughter who stumbled on open air gay sex told to 'use a different path' by police

A mother shocked by seeing two half-naked men having sex while out walking the dogs with her daughter was told by police to take a different route in future.

Marie Cragg, 44, spoke of her disgust at the officers' reaction and said she feared the woodland beauty spot would be turned into a no-go area for ordinary members of the public.

The men seen by Miss Cragg and her 18-year-old daughter Jessica were stripped from the waist down and carried on with their activities even after they knew they had been spotted.

Why would this poor woman and her daughter expect anything different? The whole world has watched as Britain and Canada have descended into some sort of madness. Surely this woman whole-heartedly voted for the politicians who have adopted this insanity as if it were a sign of even handed social policy.

But it is not. Because the same privilege, of open air sex, sodomy, or fellatio are not accorded heterosexuals.

Couple arrested for 'having sex' on crowded train

A couple have been arrested for allegedly having sex in a crowded train carriage.

Other passengers en route from Liverpool to London appear to have sat in embarrassed silence as the 41-year-old woman allegedly committed a sex act on her male partner.

The pair were arrested by police on arrival at Euston station. Officers are believed to have been called after a guard on the Virgin intercity train spotted the couple on CCTV.

And well they should have been arrested. But what about the creeps on the trail?

"You should not have to see that, should you? They can go into the woods and go wherever they want - it's sick.

'They saw me and didn't care and just carried on. I could have been a childminder with kids. I would rather go past a gang of hoodies - they are making the place seedy.'

The encounter happened on a public footpath where Miss Cragg was walking the family dogs, Molly and Ruby, near their home in Penwortham, near Preston, last week.

It follows a briefing last month by the deputy chief constable of Lancashire, Mike Cunningham, in which he called for police to turn a blind eye to outdoor sexual activity.

Under the Sexual Offences Act anyone who takes part in 'dogging', where couples meet for sex in car parks, and cottaging, where men meet for sex in public lavatories, face arrest for outraging public decency, voyeurism and exposure.

But Mr Cunningham, who is also a spokesman on homosexual issues for the Association of Chief Police Officers, argues that offenders should only be prosecuted as a last resort because of the potential impact on their lives of making their activities public."
